contest time and verification code fot the group and and enrolls students.Note: Every student has to own the SGP Account. This account creates teacher in his/her

Contest groups
For optimal usage of computers in the contest place the organizer separates the students to groups (according to number of computers)
and for each group he enters: name of group, contest time (date and time from - to, when this group will compete) and verification code for the group
Thanks to the possibility to define individual contest groups the contest place can have several times bigger capacity.
Important! Before starting work of each competition group, be sure to remove all absent contestants from the group! So that these could possibly compete another time or elsewhere.
Once a group has started to work, no one can be remowed from this group.

Evaluation of contestant

Sending incomplete or empty programs is unnecessary because it has no effect on the ranking.

2. Errors ini picture(s)-graphics
3. Errors in text file(s)
4. Number of commands (command icons)

2. Total weight of solved tasks.
3. Complexity of solved tasks (sum of task numbers)
4. Average ranking of all correctly solved tasks.
5. Ranking in the most difficult task.

Contest time
Date and time when contestants can see their submission and upload their programs to the server.
Contest time is determined by school organizer for every contest group (folder "Commission,Groups,Contestants,Protocol").
Note 1: In the case of need (technical problems etc.) organizer of the contest place can move the end of contest time by the technical delay during contest duration time for the group,
so the group can finish its work and upload files to the server.
Note 2: If a student couldn't upload files to the server till the end of the contest time of group because of different reasons (even with the help of supervisor),
the contest place organizer can do it instead of the student after the end of the contest time. Organizer logs in, selects enrolled student, then chooses "Manage Tasks" and sends the job.

Supervisor
Supervisor in computer classroom ensures that contestants during the task solving don't communicate with anybody else by no means,
don't take copies of submissions etc.

Verification code for contest group
Students from the contest group can display submissions and upload files to the server only after entering this code.
It ensures that nobody else can login to the contestant account and made the tasks instead of him.
Supervisor must ensure that this verification code doesn't leave the room (by handphones, ICQ, Skype, email etc.).
Verification code for contest group can be changed by supervisor whenever a how many times he wants. For example if he has suspicion that
anyone sent the code out of contest room or only for precaution. He tells pupils verification code when they are sitting in front of their computers - he can write it on the blackboard, for example.

Starting contest for a student
The student selects contest Baltie and relevant round in the left menu,
logs in with his UID and password. Then the team data appears and he enters the verification code for his contest group.
Only after entering the code the tasks are displayed and student can upload his program on to server until the end of the Contest time.
Students can always see the time remaining until the end of the competition.

IP addresses checking
Contest server does not allow (except home round) working from a different IP address than the public IP address of the Contest place (which is set by the organizer in the "Contest venues" forlder).

Access to the internet (it is obligatory form regional round and above)
We recommend to forbid everything (web, email, Skype, ICQ etc.) with exception of the contest server SGP.
This can be done by two ways:

allow only http://www.baltie.net

forbid all ports in firewall and allow only one port 8001 - on this port the contest server runs,
then contestants enter www.baltie.net:8001 to the internet browser (or you can create shortcut on the desktop for this address).

In the case of unclarity, please contact your administrator.
